[The response confused Philip somewhat. From what he read about in regards to dating, it would involve one person asking another person out to an outing of some sort. To a movie, to a meal of some sort or a joint recreational activity.

So, did he mean that he's only been on first dates and the experiences he had on those dates are a secret?

It was probably really easy to read the confusion across his expressions as he tried to untangle this new piece of information. And...after much thinking, he had to go with that first thought.]

Does that mean you've only ever had first dates?

[None of the books he had read had anything to do with dates between two males so it was obviously a male and female construct. Or...there was a lot more he might be learning.]
